Hi all,

I am finished preparing the new batik / fop packages. I just
want to get some comments from the Java Maintainers:

Here is the batik changelog. rhino was missing as build-depends. I
only added it as runtime suggests as it only is needed if scripting
is used in the squiggle browser.

batik (1.5.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release - security fix [CAN-2005-0508]
     (closes: #288009)
   * Added rhino as build dependency
   * Added rhino to Suggests
   * Switched to jdk modern compiler because jikes fails
   * Updated README.Debian explaining why built with non-free jdk
   * Updated standards version to 3.6.1 - no changes


Here the changelog for fop. I patched it, so it compiles against
batik 1.5.1 - the provided formatting object  examples of fop work
very well. I also tested building with free tools. Build fails due to
missing getFontMetrics method in the awt FontMetrics class.

fop (1:0.20.5-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Patched to compile against libbatik-java 1.5.1
     updated build-depends to reflect this
   * Build with jdk1.4 - therefore encryption support enabled
     (closes: 284634)
   * Moved from ant to libant1.6-java build-dependency
   * Use libxerces2-java instead of libxerces-java (closes: 298525)
   * Removed conflicts with libfop-java and libfop-java-doc
     (closes: 251270)

I also removed the libfop-java and libfop-java-doc binary packages
from the control file and put a replaces in the fop and fop-doc
binary packages. I this OK so ? I never dealt with this before -
so comments are welcome !
